After yesterdays heat we decided to get an early start today and ride while it was cooler. Well it worked, too well even. We were going through some great mountain roads and it was just plain chilly. We stopped at a quick stop got a cup of coffee, Kriss put on her fleece top, and it started to rain. Not a lot of rain, but enough that the road construction area just beyond the quick stop was mud instead of gravel. Great fun two up on a cruiser...NOT. Made it through that and down the mountain to the Grand Tetons and Jackson Wyoming and on toward Idaho. We had a busy BNB day by hitting not one but TWO brew pubs, finding both just on chance, and even rode by a third shortly after the first one. The first was Grand Teton Brewing where we sampled Bitch Creek ESB and Pursuit of Hoppiness Imperial Red Ale. Both were excellent and available in bottles in Spokane somewhere, we'll have to search for them. The second brew pub we ran across while on a walk before dinner in Idaho Falls was Snow Eagle Brewing and Grill. They were out of the brown ale we wanted to try but Snow Eagle Strong Pale Ale and Black Canyon Scorpion American Pale Ale were both very good, and the food was outstanding. The boss at Snow Eagle was an ass however, and was treating his staff (all very nice) like crap. Snow Eagle does not bottle their beers, so you will need to go to Idaho Falls if you want to sample.
